BOOK 3 – Voyager of Riverstone
Coming 9/30/24
A voyage of exploration. A princess in disguise.
If she’s discovered, she could lose more than her life.
It could cost her a crown.
As the spirited daughter of the King and Queen of Praed, Sulwen refuses to settle for the dutiful life of a princess. She prefers sword fighting to embroidery, unlike her older sister, Lilias. With her sister’s wedding fast approaching, Sulwen dreads she’ll be expected to follow. The last thing she wants is to be tied to a marriage before she has a chance to see the world.
When her brother, Prince Tyrnan, accepts a post on the ship, The Wayward Aymelina, Sulwen escapes the castle, shears off her ginger locks, and disguises herself as a boy in order to join him. Now, Sulwen must protect her identity to pursue her dreams. But the most dangerous threat isn’t pirates or shadows in the dark, it’s her own traitorous heart.
As a descendant of Riverstone, Sulwen has a legacy of determination, courage, and willfulness, all of which she’ll need if she’s to survive.
